Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am dedicated to support individuals on their journey toward mental wellness and personal growth. I also offer counseling services in Pashto, Urdu, Hindi, and Punjabi. My goal is to help you navigate challenges and work towards personal growth in a language you’re comfortable with.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I specialize in helping clients navigate a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship issues, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach is client-centered and I integrate evidence-based techniques such as CBT with a focus on building a trusting and collaborative relationship.

What you can expect from our first session

I truly believe that therapy is a collaborative process, and my goal is to empower you to achieve your personal goals. You can expect a supportive partnership as we work together to explore your experiences and create meaningful change in your life.
